Ok I got a 96 GT with the stock AODE and 3.27 gears. I want to step up to 3.73's but Ive read in an old Muscle Mustangs And Fast Fords (like a 1999 mag) that said on the 94-98 modulars with the AODE if u go higher then 3.55, the transmissions computer will not know what to do even if it has the rigth speedo gear. it said the car wont shift right and line pressure becomes dangerously high. they said u needed a chip like the one from Level 10 that was in the article. I go to highschool and got a budget, id rather skip the chip if i can. anyone got any experience with what im talking about??? any help would be great. also, about how much am i looking at to get a set of gears installed?, thanks.
